Good morning Sue, Glad your headache has gone, I must admit I get headaches but mainly in a morning, not too bad as long as they dont turn into migraines
Computers dont help with the headaches either.
Lovely day here but very cold. May go for a ride later see what hubby thinks.
You take it easy and enjoy being snuggled up with your hot chocolate.
It’s a lovely bright, but cold day here. I love autumn .

DAY 9 of STOPTOBER – your circulation should be improving, you may notice more colour in your skin and may find walking a little easier. If health isn’t your main reason for quitting, think of how much you have saved:-
- Based on a pack of 20 cigarettes costing £7.00
10 a day smoker over 9 days you will have saved £31.50
20 a day smoker over 9 days you will have saved £63.00
30 a day smoker over 9 days you will have saved £94.50
40 a day smoker over 9 days you will have saved £126.00
Keep positive, you can do it
Jillgirl - thank you for such a positive way of looking at quitting. The majority of smokers want to quit but when you look at all the things we (as smokers) have to put up with to ease the little gremlins, such as going outside for a smoke; surely we can help people’s quit journey a little easier for them???
Enjoy your ride today.
Sue 52 – I’m glad your headache has eased. I suffer with them too and like yourself I have to take myself off for a lie down. ?
Johnuk – I really like the tool you have shared with everyone, thank you. How are you feeling now?
No excuses, stopping smoking is so positive.......
Freshly washed hair, nice perfume, cleaning your teeth that are getting whiter by the week, smiling more, not feeling ashamed, frothy coffee indoors, no smoky clothes, no dog breath, relaxing when with friends, enjoying the company and not outside in the cold, looking forward to pudding and not thinking bout fags,fags, fags, filling up the car with petrol and not buying the ciggys, treating yourself to a magazine or lipstick with no guilt, having a hug and not being paranoid of being whiffy, having money in your purse, looking forward to a tea break for the tea, skin looking healthier and no longer grey, shall i go on ?
No excuses it is the best gift you can give yourself, I just wondered why it took me nearly 30 years to wake up and smell the roses ?
Hi Wonder, glad you liked the blog. having said that it has taken me over 40 years to wake up. If i`d have left it any longer i wouldn`t be smelling roses , I would have been pushing up roses.
I'm in London today at a conference, lots of talks from people who say that technology is the way forward. I've even be chatting to a few folks about the possibility of using skype to help smokers to stop.. Ooooh technology scares me... I've never skyped before!
love your post Wonder, its so true :), it's taken me 35 years to waken up, just thankful that my daughter never started, she obviously has more brains than me
i know what you mean about skype Emjay, i've got it but never used it, don't know how
away out soon with hubby, going for a meal and then to the pictures, haven't been out in ages so thought we'd have a treat, might not get back till late but will pop on to see if your still on
